the pumps designed to get it out will all be under water too

crazy stuff

Hopefully it will chill down a bit before making landfall and angle a bit east. But indeed New Orleans is about to get turned upside down.

I have people calling me right now over this shit. Interstate 10 is one giant parking lot from people getting the fuck out.

Yeah thats true. Thankfully I don't have to sandbag my place. Just nail the shutters shut and tie shit down.

I'll tell you what gets scary is those locks on the spillway. They give out and bye bye Houma.

thats only if the river rises 8-12 feet, overflows the levee then makes it past the 5 foot seawalls... this is assuming lake pontchartrain doesnt overflow (which im sure it will)

nola is pretty well braced for hurricanes, theyre not that uncommon here

New Orleans is crazy now. InterStates are like parking lots. Everything closing down, walmart out of water, batteries, etc...

All of my family have left, so they are safe. I am staying behind, going to ride out storm in our datacenter.

I am debating shooting some pics andd video - maybe I can make a documentary!

Wish us luck!

Umm, if THIS specific hurricane hits NO as is then everything he just mentioned will happen.

Mike, if I were you I would leave and go with your family. I just went through Frances and that was only winds in the 70MPH range. This one is nearly twice as strong so I can't even imagine what it will do to your city.

And here I am thinking of driving down to see it up close. I love storms for some reason.

ummif THIS specific hurricane hits, the aforementioned things still need to happen, i watch the news too considering I live in SE Louisiana as well

2 years old but here is why NO specifically is at high risk.

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articl...59/ai_95845370

"The perfect storm could either strike New Orleans east of the city, with gale-force winds blowing south, shoveling water from Lake Pontchartrain over the lake levees; or the storm could strike west of the city, causing winds to heave Gulf of Mexico seawater up the Mississippi River and crash over its levees.

Joseph Suhayda, former director of the Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute at Louisiana State University, uses computer models to study potential hurricane hits. His surprising finding: A severe but not catastrophic Category 3 storm (see next page) would be enough to swamp New Orleans if it slowed down and hovered east of the city. "A slow storm has more time to build up the wind effect over the lake," says Suhayda. Waves can add four to five feet to surging lake waters, he adds."
